TL;DR: More than 130 observation days of the horizontal and vertical extent of Saharan dust intrusions over Europe during the period May 2000 to December 2002 were studied by means of a coordinated lidar network in the frame of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, three ground-based Raman lidars and an airborne high-spectral-resolution lidar were operated during SAMUM 2006 in southern Morocco to measure height profiles of the volume extinction coefficient, the extinction-to-backscatter ratio and the depolarization ratio of dust particles in the Saharan dust layer at several wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show the four-dimensional (4-D) distribution of the Eyjafjallajokull volcanic cloud in the troposphere over Europe as observed by EARLINET during the entire volcanic event (15 April-26 May 2010).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data obtained from LiDAR measurements during an ash emission event on 15 November 2010 at Mt. Etna, in Italy, in order to evaluate the spatial distribution of volcanic ash in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a video-surveillance system to estimate variations in the column height with time and derived the time-varying discharge rate (peak value of 60m3/s−1) and determined the ash concentration using a volcanic ash dispersal model.
